Chapter 4: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night

If the Forbidden City is said to be a Tai Chi yang, the built courtyard lock dragon well is a yin, and the yin and yang line is the two halves that run through the yin and yang. This line is very strict, if there is a building blocking this line. It was definitely demolished in the name of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

This walk, this team, walked out of Beijing. At that time, after walking outside Beijing, those eunuchs and palace maids were already frightened, but no matter how scared they were. You have to take it, don't you?

But it's also strange to say, after leaving the city of Beijing. The ghost crying wolf howl was gone, and at this time, those Taoist priests were sitting on the ground outside the city gate and began to chant the scriptures, and after everyone stopped, only one person was still walking.

This person is Guo Zhongyong.

So, there was a scene that shocked everyone at that time. After everyone in the line stopped, Guo Zhongyong, who was wearing a strange dress at the front, continued to ring the bell and carried a stupid woman on his back.

Behind him, a fog appeared, and everyone felt a chill around them, as if a gust of wind was blowing from the side, and after that, they saw that in the fog, one by one the palace maids and eunuchs were dressed up, and there were headless people. Those who were poisoned were bleeding from all their orifices, there were hanged people with tongues sticking out, and there were beheaded people who wore official robes but had no heads.

All kinds of people, many people, these eunuchs may all know, these. Aren't they the people who died in the palace?

It's a long dragon, a hundred ghosts who walk at night! The air seemed to be stagnant, and just these hundred ghosts, following behind that person, were like chasing corpses in Xiangxi.

Including those masters who have attained the Tao, they don't speak at this time, who can use Qimen Dunjia to force the Yin and Yang Road in Beijing City, so that those evil ghosts who are trapped in the palace because of the Juzi Recipe and cannot be born can leave the palace? Guo Zhongyong took these ghosts away, and the rest of the people didn't follow, Guo Zhongyong didn't say that he wanted them to follow, they were full of food and support before they were stimulated.

Therefore, no one knows where Guo Zhongyong took these evil ghosts, but everyone knows that today, the haunted incident that has plagued the Queen Mother Lafayette for most of the year has really been done by this young man who is all-round in civil and military affairs.

Guo Zhongyong waited until the next morning to come back, when he came back, he had already changed into a normal dress, the whole person was very tired, went back to his home directly, slept for three days first, and even the Queen Mother summoned him into the palace He also refused, the scene of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, the most exciting was the great eunuch Li Lianying, why? Because as Cixi's celestial number dogleg, many of the hundred ghosts in the night walk died through his hands.

The shock of the scene and the fear of it, he naturally touted Guo Zhongyong to the sky from his master, the Empress Dowager Cixi, where is this Wenwu Dengke double armor? It's simply a genius who dominates the top three in Wenwu Xuan! And since that night, the Queen Mother has also had a spirit, not to mention the fragrance, maybe there is no psychological pressure, and the sleep is much better, as for Guo Zhongyong not to accept the order to enter the palace, it shows that this person is absolutely reliable: "After doing such a big thing, I am not in a hurry to enter the palace to receive the reward, but sleep at home, then I am absolutely tired, what is the reason to resist the order?" Let him sleep, and come back to me when he has slept enough. ”

So for a while, this Guo Zhongyong, who was from the fifth grade, everyone once again saw his edge, and when Cixi was leaning towards the government and the opposition, he was appreciated, and the future after that was absolutely unlimited, after sleeping for three days, Guo Zhongyong entered the palace to see the Queen Mother Lafayette. Naturally, it is a reward for gold and silver treasures, and the courtyard is an official and a knight, but Guo Zhongyong's beauties accept money or something, but he does not accept promotion, in his words, he actually knows that he has the ability to make a fuss, and he really governs one side, and he is absolutely not good, of course, he is also proficient in some metaphysical things, but these things, after all, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, isn't it? So give some money or something, have a clear conscience, and add officials to the knighthood? Forget it, if you don't do it well, you won't even lose Lafayette's face, right?

He said this, which made Zhang Zhidong who was present grinning his teeth, damn, I originally thought that this time my protégé gave himself a long face, who knew that you couldn't support the wall with mud? Don't want the right to ask for money? If you really want to show your loyalty, you can do nothing, don't you? With power, is money still a thing?

Who knew that Cixi was amused by Guo Zhongyong and said: "I like you young man, who said that metaphysics is difficult to get into the hall of elegance?" If it weren't for you this time, wouldn't the mourning family be dead? If you don't want to manage one side to be promoted, that's okay, the mourning family is still reluctant to let you go, you still have this official position, I know you are lazy and don't want to take care of things, so in the future, you will only listen to the command of the mourning family, except for me, no one is your master, remember? ”

At that time, Guo Zhongyong could only thank him, which made Zhang Zhidong and a group of them bared their teeth, this kid is really a fool and a fool, tsk, except for Lafayette, no one else can listen to their words, what a great honor is this?

So from this day on, this lazy, alcoholic young man, suddenly became the hottest young talent in the capital, in front of the door is a door, what are the gifts doing in an endless stream, but this guy's reputation is quickly stinky, only receive gifts and do not do things, gifts, I continue, do things? I'm sorry, I won't do it, you have the ability to beat me?

So this person is an alternative to officialdom, but even so, he was called by Lafayette to go to the palace to talk about something in three days, and he still has to stutter, but he can't do anything if he stutters, do you say that the egg hurts?

Because of the popularity at that time, in fact, many people who were interested in the Guo family also approached him at that time, saying that you are a talented person, why not serve the country? For example, some young people who want to change the law, such as the hot-blooded minister of the dynasty who is still very keen on carrying out foreign affairs, want to pull my grandfather to serve the country.

But Guo Zhongyong refuses to do it all, no matter or what, we will be feng shui, you change and engage in foreign affairs, I won't, no matter if you don't participate.

This made Zhang Zhidong, who originally had great expectations for Guo Zhongyong, thinking that this young man refused to be promoted to the rank of knight and ask for money at that time, which was actually a strategy to curry favor with Lafayette, broke with Guo Zhongyong, you young man, a Chinese man, don't think about serving the country, what use do you want? !

But even if it was a break, Guo Zhongyong didn't care, all of a sudden, the people of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what this young man was thinking, it seemed that he was just thinking about drinking and sleeping with an Oiran or something?

Then, the reason why Cixi left Guo Zhongyong as a minister was revealed, Guo Zhongyong was proficient in metaphysics and was a Taoist person, but the emperors of all dynasties would believe in Taoism, and the people in the world were most reluctant to die, reluctant to be grateful for the glory and wealth of the world.

Later, looking for an opportunity, Cixi asked: "The mean, there have been emperors in the past dynasties who pursued immortality, and there are also a lot of immortal immortal immortality in the world, since you are proficient in metaphysics, then tell me, this immortality is true or false?" ”

"Since it is a legend, it is a mixed bag, but according to Taoist classics, immortality really exists." Guo Zhongyong said.

"Then tell me, do you have a way?" Cixi asked.

"Yes, but my method is different from other people's, it's not alchemy, since ancient times, I have eaten the golden pill and soared in the day or something, these, I don't think it works, I have also studied the art of immortality for many years, I think that if you want to live forever, the emperor's family has an innate advantage, because it occupies the dragon qi in the world, and the pill does not work, it is actually the best way to maintain health with dragon qi, and the minister has long thought about it, to contribute to the immortality of Lafayette, so before, I have taken action." Guo Zhongyong said.

"You've done it before? It's really a loyal minister, tell me, what's going on?! Cixi asked. Mixed with blood.

"Do you remember the woman who had the same birthday as the Empress Dowager Ci'an? I let her live in the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, they both had the same birthday, and her soul had been set by me in the lock dragon well, so her stupidity was because she was just a physical shell, and I wanted to let the soul of the Empress Dowager Ci'an go to her body! Guo Zhongyong said.
